For personal and professional reasons, Duncan could not tell Lily to get out.
“I guess you must not have breakfast yet, Duncan.”
Lily drew close with a smile and put the food containers on Duncan’s desk. “Mrs. Lewis told me to bring
them to you. She said you often sleep late and wake up late, so you don’t have time to eat. Mrs. Lewis
told me to bring you breakfast when she found out that I was going to meet you.
“I was driving behind you just now. I saw you going to a diner called All You Can Eat. Do you usually
have breakfast there?”
She should try the food there sometime. Was the food that good?
Lily wondered whether Duncan was at the diner for the food or the operator.
“Ms. Harmon, my schedule is full for the day, so I don’t have time to discuss a partnership today. I need
to get to a meeting in a minute.”
“I’ll book a time with the secretary later. We can talk business when you have time. What time is your
meeting?”
“Nine o’clock.”
Lily looked at the time. Ten more minutes to go.
Curling her lips, she opened the lids of the food containers and put the food right in front of Duncan one
by one.
“Ten minutes should be enough for you to finish the food. Better eat up. This is Mrs. Lewis’s love for
you. Don’t turn down her loving gesture.”
Lily made the food herself.
Nevertheless, she did not mention she was the chef. Instead, she put it vaguely that Mrs. Lewis had the
breakfast delivered to him.
Since she talked about a mother’s love, and Duncan was hungry, he gladly accepted the food and
ravished the meal in mere minutes.
“Do we have a new chef at home?”
Putting down the cutleries, Duncan pulled out a napkin and wiped his mouth.
Lily poured him a glass of water.
Duncan thanked her and took the glass for a few sips.
“Could you tell?”
Lily asked with a grin, “How do you think the new chef did?”
“Not bad.”
Nevertheless, he preferred Liberty’s cooking. He was impressed by the taste made with the simplest
ingredients.
Liberty’s food brought Duncan back to his youthful days of strolling the streets with his
boys. He had the pleasure of sampling a lot of street food that he would never taste as the son of the
Lewis family.
While those years gave him great pain, they also brought him down to earth.
Even when he became a CEO, he remained unassuming.
He was no different than any ordinary folk except for being in the higher bracket of income.
Lily said with a smile, “All that matters is that the food is delicious to you.”
She glanced at the time before clearing the food containers. She reminded Duncan, “Your meeting is
starting, Duncan. I’m going to report to Mrs. Lewis on the mission accomplished. By the way, Mrs.
Lewis hopes you can be home for lunch. If you can’t make it home, she said there’s an event in a few
days. She hopes you’ll attend it with her.”
Lily was going with Mrs. Lewis too.
Mrs. Lewis intended to introduce the ladies of the higher society in Wiltspoon to her.
Serenity would probably be attending the event with Mrs. Stone.
Mrs. Lewis mentioned that Mrs. Stone had been active within the circle lately. She would reply
favorably to any social invitations.
She must be trying to bring Serenity into the exclusive circle.
No one would want to get on Mrs. Stone’s bad side as she was the lady of the Stone household.
Besides, Mrs. Stone was once a business heavyweight before she retired from the corporate world.
Furrowing his brows, Duncan uttered, “Why does she want me to attend with her? Can I trouble you to
go with my mom if my mom if you have time? I can’t be bothered with social gatherings.”
